For Kenya Hara, design begins with comprehension of the unknown. The concept of “exformation,” to which a chapter was already devoted in Designing Design, continues to preoccupy the Japanese designer. In contrast to “information,” “exformation” describes how little we really know and thus becomes the starting point for any type of design. Based on a range of projects stemming f...(展开全部)

【重新捕捉世界的概念裝置──Ex-formation】以令人驚奇、新鮮的樣貌，重新展現在世人眼前，一種嘗試將已知的事物「未知化」的創作挑戰。 原研哉認為，「創造不是填寫答案，而是提出質疑。」 Ex-formation的目的在於「了解自己的無知」，或是透過第一次觀賞、體驗事物的新鮮感，設法傳達事物的樣貌。 其實這種方式並不容易。 人類習慣透過媒體接收各種資訊，往往將片面資訊加以整理歸納之後，便以為自己掌握了事物的全貌，而忽略了其中隱藏著更多尚未被發掘的可能性。這個世界是永遠無法被完全解讀的。唯有了解這一點，才能不斷產生更豐富多元的驚喜、感動或疑問。 植物對我們來說是幸福、豐饒的象徵，可是在亞馬遜流域的熱帶雨林等植物茂密旺盛的場所，植物卻是猙獰的。植物不似動物能夠進行移動，卻以旺盛的生命力與繁殖力生存…… 植物究竟是什麼呢？ 「如果沒有『花』的存在，這個...(展开全部)

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy, particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which are needed to understand how galaxies form and evolve, this book is ideal for researchers entering the field. Individual chapters explore the evolution of the Universe as a whole and its particle a...(展开全部)

A study that makes use of an interdisciplinary approach to challenge traditional theories of state formation in China and promote debate on early Chinese history. Analyzing data from archaeology, geology, cultural geography, ethnohistory and ancient texts, the authors show how the procurement of key external resources - especially metal and salt - drove the dynamics of state fo...(展开全部)
